I believed that the guano is a good fertilizer and can also be use for making gun powder due to the high levels of phosphorous and nitrogen.

I've been busy travelling around going places I've never been and visiting friends and relatives. I can hardly use the internet here. I have so many pictures that I wanted to share but I guess it just have to wait. To my blog friends, thank you for the comments. I'll be back to the U.S soon.
